Bronco fuel theft.

[SeptuagenerianSasquatch]

While we're on the subject, avoid this (so called) "No Spill" fuel dispenser. The spout does not reach deeply enough into the Bronco fuel aperture, resulting in lots of gas spilling out, creating a big mess. Alsok you have to depress the green button (on the right, in this image), which has a pretty powerful spring, to open the valve. Depressing that button is quite a distraction while you're trying to manipulate the can's position to get flow.
Also, the ratchet lock on the can's neck is a real pain. I snapped it off so I could unscrew the dispenser cap. Eventually, I finally got my fuel out (some in the tank, the rest on the pavement) and returned the smelly mess to Home Depot.
It seems that this dispensing system is the only one sold legally in my high-regulation state. All for "safety" and "global warming," or something. Well, regulators gotta regulate--it's what they do, right?

Don't get me started. Every year the dispenser mechanisms on these cans seem to get worse. It's like some engineer is trying to make dispensing more difficult.

syphering? WTF is that?

According to Jethro Bodine it's the timeses and the gazintas.

Make sure you keep these guys in business then.

Drilling the tank is easiest. If you get a crook with a conscience they could, if they are familiar with Bronco, disconnect the fuel pump and disconnect the filler neck to the tank and siphon it out of the tank.

This.

If you are worried about this, make sure you have the steel fuel tank skid plate.

2 door life... LOL

I prefer to just hold 'em up at the fuel pump.

The Administrative State--they know what's best for us.

This video has been around a lot. A Bronco is a desirable vehicle--so stay alert!

I was more worried about dirt from off-roading adventures getting into my gas, so I found a solution from my friendly neighborhood fluids establishment and Wala.
No dirt gets into my nozzle.

My first thought was damn! That’s some movie like quick thinking…but then I thought, what if the guy in the van was smoking? That could have gone real bad real fast.

They also "mount up" when called upon to do so.
But you can't be any geek off the street.

We siphoned gas from our mom's flex with the same design YEARS ago. It was extremely inefficient and we ended up with a ton of gas in our mouths.

But we did get the four wheeler back up and running to shuttle people home during the snowmeggedon of 2024.

If they want your gas they will just drill into the tank.
